So many Houstonians in here lol

I live out in Katy, but work near Sugar Land/Stafford.

I never saw cards at the Targets near Katy until they did the Friday thing from around April 2020 through basically April 2021. I may have seen some 2020 Topps Chrome Update, but never cared about it.

Wal Mart near my work I would occasionally see cards.

First time running into people waiting for a vendor was actually a couple months ago when me and my coworkers went to Wal Mart to get some snacks/drinks, and then I noticed guys waiting in the women clothing and mentioned to my coworkers they were there waiting for cards(1 of them also collects, just getting into collecting). They were like "for reals?" and I said absolutely 100%, it was right in front of the card aisle.

I miss the days on passing on 2017 Optic football cello packs on clearance, 2018 Topps Update, seeing loads of Prizm football and just grabbing a blaster or cellos here and there.

No offense to anyone willing to hustle like that but that ain't for me. But I'm also not trying to make a living off cards, just do enough to keep feeding my hobby.

I just want to hit up my local area stores and find something. If I don't, oh well.

I managed to pickup some 2021 Bowman Mega boxes on MySlabs for $38 each a few weeks after release when prices dropped.

For some reason I thought at one point someone mentioned they had a sealed box after the first few waves of cello boxes. But yeah definitely still unsealed. It'll be an interesting rip tomorrow. Not sure it'll be worth 3 megas

i do feel like there was one box that went out sealed, but pretty much every one other than that was unwrapped.

Now showing OOS everywhere. Strange. Wonder if they are working on anti-bot measures or something.

I’m fully expecting a cancelled order but I’m gonna try 10 and see what happens lol. Free shipping and 2% back Rakuten makes the price manageable I think

May be for the best. Since the product is simply labeled "Topps Bowman 2021 MLB Trading Cards" with the first qualifier saying "You May Not Receive What Is Pictured"

It says it contains 50 cards which would indicate mega vs blaster but who knows. They also changed the link to in store only but I made an order for 12 and it hasn’t cancelled yet. We shall see

I only tried for (and "got") 10, given the poster above who couldn't check out 12. Oh well. Either it's canceled or I get 10, which is almost 12, so whatever.
